Appearance
Moose is a brown moose with sunglasses that cover his eyes. He wears a gray hoodie, black pants, and black shoes.

Background
Before his birth, Moose's parents angered a witch that then cursed them so that their first child would instead be an animal. A couple years later, Moose was born. His worried parents kept him homeschooled, eventually giving Moose the insatiable hunger to explore the world. Once he was old enough, he said goodbye to his parents and journeyed off into the wilderness. He has yet to return home.

During his journeys, Moose discovered the Bread SMP. He felt like there was something special about the people and the area, so decided to settle down for a while. Because of his upbringing and lack of social activity when he was younger, Moose decided to live close to everyone, but not too close, afraid to let history repeat itself.

Personality
Moose is generally laid back and adventurous, occasionally going out and mapping the surrounding area. He is generally pretty trusting and is willing to help out almost anyone. He is quite fond of nature and tends to get conflicting feelings when thinking about his similarities to animals. This lead to him trying to create a potion that would change him into a human. The potion worked to a degree, leaving the moose head but changing the rest of his body, worsening his identity issues.

At times, Moose's voice becomes distorted. He becomes more aggressive, murderous, and becomes more of an arsonist, wanting to set anything and everything ablaze. The cause of this is currently unknown...

Story Arcs
The Crystal Arc - Not long after coming to the Bread SMP, Moose hears whispers coming from a strange rock. Several days later, Moose and the research team (Ghastly, Coolment, Leaf) mine into the rock to find a strange cultish hideout, housing a large crystal covered in a strange ice.

The Corruption Arc - As days pass, Moose starts hearing voices more and more, telling him to kill. He starts giving in after being convinced by an unknown ghost who speaks through dark oak signs that Nick will betray him. Moose tries to kill Nick, however, Moose comes to his senses before the final blow and exiles himself out of guilt.

Exile - In his safe room, Moose has a nervous breakdown, knowing that the rest of the bread smp will hunt him down. During that breakdown, the Dark Oak Ghost tells him that 'the one you hurt' (Nick) is telling everyone about what Moose did and that 'a true friend would figure out whats wrong, not turn the community against you', implying that Nick is turning the community against Moose. The Dark Oak Ghost proceeds to try to 'comfort' Moose, manipulating him more into believing that Nick was going to betray him. The Ghost then tries to manipulate Moose into blowing some of the bread smp up, taking people with it. He reveals that he killed his parents. He resists the Ghosts peer pressure, eventually scaring the Ghost off by telling the Ghost in his distorted voice that he cant do what the Ghost is asking of him. Nick eventually finds him in exile by taking off his mask and using his third eye.

Prison - After being found by Nick, a wary Moose is convinced to go to the prison as it is the safest option as of that moment. In prison, Moose is visited by the scientist after a little bit. The Scientist taunts Moose with his inability to go through with killing Nick. Moose then writes in his new journal, still slightly confused as too how Nick found him. He continues to write in his journal.

On day three, Moose starts seeing floating orbs around him and starts hearing those orbs as well. He also begins to feel a strange hunger for rotten flesh.

On day four, Moose remembers that he's trapped in the prison as no one has told the prison guards that he is there. Also he starts hearing and seeing the orbs more solidly, actually feeling them at multiple points in time. The first one he actually acknowledges lets him know that he can't escape through making a nether portal as the crying obsidian stops that from happening. He learns that these orbs are will o' wisps, more commonly referred to as wisps. Both Nemesis and the Scientist have shown up as well, with the Scientist weakening Nemesis significantly. Nemesis eventually tries to get Bread's help, but Bread doesn't believe her, which leads to Moose writing an apology note to Bread.

After Prison - On day five, Moose is surprised to see Bread coming to let him out. He released, given his stuff back, and is put on parole until the community can come together to decide his sentence. He then goes back to living in his tree house for the first time in what felt like forever. He meets with Fearsome in the ghost shrine after finding a conversation between the Scientist and Fearsome. Someone destroys the Scientist's part of the conversation before Moose can read it. He asks Fearsome whether Fearsome can see the wisps, but he cannot. After finding out it's the Scientist, both Moose and Fearsome leave before the Scientist wreaks havoc on their mental health. However, the Dark Oak Ghost finds him again, telling him that Bread and Nemesis returned to their old home and that he would "take good care of them." Afraid of what might happen, Moose immediately rushes over to find Bread alone and no sign of the Dark Oak Ghost. Bread then shows Moose a different crystal that he has heard about from a wisp, that seems to be the complete opposite of the red crystal. Eventually, after much talking and confession, Bread offers Moose a place to stay until the community meeting. Moose accepts and moves in with Bread. While moving in, Moose uncovers that Bread can see the wisps.

The Dark Oak Ghost eventually finds Moose once again and taunts him, telling him that he is weak and hits him repeatedly. Moose eventually snaps and lashes out at the Ghost, roaring and screeching like a demon. Terrified of what he is capable of and his inability to hurt the Ghost, he is backed into a corner, unsure of what to do next.
